Intro: Dm

Verse:
Dm                      A
It was the coldest night of the year,
C                         G
Snow-covered street lamps and Belvedere,
Dm
The moon was just a sliver,
A
The light was fading,
C
The war was on its way,
G
And we were waiting,


Bb             A      
You asked me how long I'd stay by your side,
C                Bb
So I answered with only just one reply,

Chorus:
Dm               Bb
Till the casket drops,
          G    A
Till my dying day,
Dm                  Bb
Till my heartbeat stops,
          G         A
Till my legs just break,
Dm            Bb
Whoa, oh, whoa,
       G       A
whoa, whoa, oh,
Dm          Bb
Whoa, whoa, oh,
A
Till the casket drops,

Verse:
Dm                        A
A house made out of glass will surely shatter,
C                         G
So we built a fortress of red bricks and ladders,
Dm
The ground, it started shaking,
A
The bombs are falling,
C
We could've walked away,
G
We had a warning,


Bb                      A
You asked me how long I'd stay by your side,
C                    Bb
So I answered with only just one reply,

Chorus:
Dm               Bb
Till the casket drops,
          G    A
Till my dying day,
Dm                  Bb
Till my heartbeat stops,
          G         A
Till my legs just break,
Dm            Bb
Whoa, oh, whoa,
       G       A
whoa, whoa, oh,
Dm          Bb
Whoa, whoa, oh,
A
Till the casket drops,


Dm
So lay your burden down, baby,
C
Lead me out the door,
G
We can't escape this ricochet,
A
I'm ready for this war,


Dm
So lay your burden down, baby,
C
Lead me out the door,
G
We can't escape this ricochet,
A
I'm ready for this war,


Dm               Bb
Till the casket drops,
          G    A
Till my dying day,
Dm                  Bb
Till my heartbeat stops,
          G         A
Till my legs just break,
Dm               Bb
Till the casket drops,
          G    A
Till my dying day,
Dm                  Bb
Till my heartbeat stops,
          G         A
Till my legs just break,
Dm            Bb
Whoa, oh, whoa,
       G       A
whoa, whoa, oh,
Dm          Bb
Whoa, whoa, oh,
A                      Dm
